Dealing with gay students, bullying in very different ways

.

Jared Pettingill’s parents wanted a safe place for their son to attend school where he wouldn’t be harassed for being gay

They found that place in the Minneapolis Public School district.

“It’s just been really accepting in my experience,” says Jared, a high school junior. He says he’s “never really dealt with bullying issues” in middle school or high school.

“The amount of positive reaction to LGBT issues is really amazing.”

Minneapolis Public School administrators admit that by no means has bullying been eradicated from their schools. However, they firmly believe that they are leading the way in creating a safe environment for all students
